City council voted Tuesday night against a six-figure marketing plan to promote London during March’s world figure skating championships.

Then they voted for it.

Kind of.

Minutes after rejecting the marketing push that is built around a new logo reading “Canada’s London,” council voted to approve it under another ­championship-related matter, so long as the logo is tweaked.

The unusual and confusing vote bucked the procedural advice of staff.

While staff suggested council needed a two-thirds majority approval to reopen the matter, Mayor Joe Fontana ruled that wasn’t required and the $100,000 spending — which is be matched by the combined efforts of several city-funded agencies — was approved.

“How many people living on the street today could we help with $100,000?” Denise Brown asked during the debate. “Just because we have it doesn’t mean we have to go and spend it.”

In the logo, the second o in the word London is a maple leaf — which had Usher concerned visitors wouldn’t recognize that as an o and therefore make the city name unreadable.

Others agreed, and a related item — calling on city administration to work with organizers as much as possible — had the $100,000 thrown in, with a caveat that the logo get adjusted to replace the maple leaf with an o.

That was enough to sway Armstrong, Usher, Orser and Henderson, and council voted 11-4 to OK the spending that had been rejected just minutes earlier.
